I thought I was saying something different than what you said, but I realize that I just ended up saying differently what you said.

Great minds think somewhat differently. I am a bit more nationalistic because I realize most other nations are mooches, have been on the take for scores of years, and would most likely abandon us were we in need. In the meantime, we have been drunken fools, putting their defense on our tab, resulting in huge national debt.

Read Shirer's 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich', and you will see where I am coming from.

I did add a couple of highlights of the rescue FWIW:


Pragmatically, it sent a strong message to the world, allies, enemies, and the weak-spined, that our determination is relentless and our skills are unrivaled … but only when led by a fearless leader like Donald J Trump. “No man left behind.”

As an additional return on our investment, there are probably hundreds or thousands of dead thugs who were after and would have killed our man. RIH.

OTOH, you take your chances with wimps like Biden. “Leave them behind in Afghanistan and let them die.”
